Unexpected error/ Character limit

[bandithello0]

I am trying to setup a fun fact command, I have tried for numerous hours and it will not give me any of the facts. I am not sure if it’s the copy and pasted pastebin or if it is something I am doing wrong on the command.

Every variation I try creating the command I get undefined/Unexpected error/Response limit must be under 400 characters or a unexpected token (“split”)

This is the command I am trying to use any help would be appreciated
$(eval a=$(urlfetch json https://pastebin.com/raw/1xT318F5).split(,);a[Math.floor(Math.random()*a.length)])

Hey @bandithello0!

There are a few issues with your code: first your .split() lacks quotes to know where to cut: split(',') would work, but in your Pastebin you already have an array, so you don’t need to split it, that means you have two options to fix it: either remove the .split(','), or turn the array into multiple lines of text, in which case I suggest changing the separator from a comma , to a vertical line |, so you’d use .split('|')

Have a look here if you choose the second option but can’t see what I mean:

Unexpected identifier

Hey @Ritik_Ranjan! There are inconsistencies in your Pastebin, well, not from a human point of view, but from a code point of view: you end each facts with a , (comma), yet in some of your facts there are commas, which would create a new item. Also, for some reasons, I rarely manage to make an array work when they come out of a raw Pastebin, I rather build it inside the command to be sure it works properly, it never fails by doing it like this, so finishing your items with something else than …

Oh okay, so where every line break is inside pastebin where it ends in a “,” go change it to a bar? Because I see where I was going wrong at. is there a way to have 2 splits or can it only be one so say for an instance “?,” be a end of a split?

where I was going wrong is the forgetting quotations inside the split. but if I must change the pastebin I might wanna get started now but if I can have the 2 inside the “split” would make my day a little faster haha

Thank you for your help

Okay from taking your advice I changed the .split(’,|’) and now it works absolute perfect. Thank you so much as I was fully stuck on this for almost 2 days… all it took was about 35 mins of editing and it fixed it.

Glad you managed to figure it out, but I’ve just checked your Pastebin and you’re going to have issues down the line:

1. I see you’ve decided to take the route where you remove the array, so you don’t need single quotes marks ' around your facts anymore, unless you want them to show in your chat, it’s up to you
2. on line 495 you still have a square bracket [
3. and most importantly, some of your lines end with , | and not ,|, that means your split(',|') won’t match those.
